The Person Below Me (TPBM)

[Marcel]

Didn't see it

TPBM will tell us the best thing about London

 

[Thorlifter]

I can't. Unfortunately, I've never been there.

TPBM will tell us.......

 

[ccheese]

I liked the bobbies, the pubs and Trafalger Square. However, the folks there
do talk funny !!

TPBM Is taking a friend to lunch....

Charles

 

[109ROAMING]

Sorry can't say I am

TPBM commutes by train...

 

[Gnomey]

Nope, just the old one foot in front of the other method

TPBM is the same...

 

[ccheese]

Don't really commute. In fair weather I usually ride the scooter to work.
Can't beat that 91 MPG !!

TPBM has a gas guzzler !!

Charles

 

[109ROAMING]

Well was thinking about buying one but SERIOUSLY put off by its 15 MPG fuel comsumption


TPBM loves but also hates their car

 

[Bucksnort101]

Yes, I love it when I'm trying to drive across a frozen lake or through a field, or anywhere I need 4 Wheel Drive, I have it when the fuel tank is on E!!!

TPBM thinks Sir Charles needs a "Born to Ride" T-Shirt for Christmas

 

[Lucky13]

Among other things....like a '49 Mercury Coupe, black!

TPBM agrees....

 

[ccheese]

Ah yes, the '47 Mercury coupe. I love that car, but never owned one.

TPBM craves a vintage vehicle....

Charles

 

[Gnomey]

Wouldn't mind one...

TPBM already has one

 

[ccheese]

Nope, not vintage..... my truck is only 21 years old.

TPBM is thinking Chinese for lunch...

Charles

 

[Lucky13]

...or dinner.

TPBM is the hailed master of skiving at their work...

 

[ccheese]

Not sure what you mean, Lucky, the word "skiving" is foreign to me.

TPBM will interpret for me....

Charles

 

[Marcel]

It's viking written in the wrong way? Don't know Charles

TPBM is Lucky and will explain

 

[Screaming Eagle]

I'm not Lucky but maybe I can explain, skiving is to cut thin layers of rubber or leather

TPBM is Lucky and will tell me if this the the definition he was looking for.

 

[Lucky13]

Here you go chaps... Skiving,

To skive is British slang for the practice of avoiding responsibilities (particularly work or school) because you want to do something more fun or just don't want to do what you should be doing.
Skiving is usually done in a manner that you are pretending to be working when in reality you are not – for example being on facebook when at work (or if you are an expert 'skiver' your screen is strategically placed so that your boss can't see it).

TPBM will now try this out...

 

[109ROAMING]

Been there done that

TPBM is an active skiver

 

[Gnomey]

Yes all the time...

TPBM hardly does any work because of their skiving abilities...

 

[Screaming Eagle]

I do, but I had a big skiving day today

TPBM uses an old computer
